Bart,
Thanks for your comments. Yesterday I printed out two items. One was the "how to" from midway, which I thought was a good starting point as these generic instructions usually are and the second was a thread I found in rec.guns archive from 1994:

http://yarchive.net/gun/rifle/bedding.html

which I thought sounded like the most knowledgeable post I had found on the subject.

I assume you are the same BartB. I've been on the internet long enough to know when to listen and I think I've found everything I need to know for now.

As for the metal epoxies, I didn't think about shrinkage. Good point.

So I will NOT use metal pillars in my wooden stock and I'll use just the car wax and I'll have at it.

thanks much for your help,

Jerry
